Paper Lies and The Law of Love… Mary Ann Wray I had a dream a while back where I was ministering the word of God to a congregation of people, when all of a sudden, little yellow pieces of paper (similar to post it notes) with legs began running out of the church towards the foyer door then out of the building. As the little papers with feet ran out of the building, people were being set free from bondages and the place was emptied out as the Holy Spirit washed over God’s flock with the word of the Lord. I asked the Lord what these pieces of paper were and He said, “Lies”.  You see, when God’s word is declared, that is free of ad-mixture, people can get liberated. The lies of the enemy, are like post-it notes.   They stick to our thinking and declare and decree things over us and to us that are untrue. They are half truths about God, ourselves and others. These “paper lies” seek to rule and dominate our thinking frustrating the flow of God’s grace and power...

Where are the Joseph’s of today? Mary Ann Wray Where are the Joseph’s of today? Thought for the day… While Joseph was in Potiphar’s house God gave Joseph a word of wisdom for Pharaoh after he interpreted his dream. Thankfully Pharaoh heeded Joseph’s words of wisdom. The word of wisdom was that pharaoh was to take 1/5 of everything that was gathered during the seven years of plenty And store it up for the seven lean years ahead. In other words, during the time of plenteous seven years that was prophesied, they were to take 1/5 of the harvest and store it up for the coming seven lean years so that no one would go hungry or starve to death. With all the prophets of doom, some of which are probably accurate, where are the words of wisdom for the church to know what to do in the coming days ahead? I believe the church is going to have to shift the emphasis from giving to only build a local church to giving in order to help and store up a portion of the offerings colle...

More on FAITH! Mary Ann Wray Faith comes by hearing the Word of God! Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things we hope for and the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN (In the natural). God framed the world with His spoken Words. Everything we see is a result of God's Faith SPOKEN and released to create the visible from the invisible! The same principle works for His sons and daughters. We are made in HIS image and have been given the same nature through the New Birth! “Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had, who wrote in scripture, “I believed, therefore I spoke.” We also believe therefore we also speak.” 2 Cor 4: 13 If you pray it you will hear it If you hear it you will believe it If you believe it you will see it If you see it you can seize it When you seize it you will have it! “And David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?” And the LORD said to David, “Go up, for I will certainly give the Philistines into ...

How to Stay in GRACE! Mary Ann Wray It's very important to stay focused on what God has called you to BE and equipped you to DO by His grace that was freely given to YOU-not somebody else. IMPORTANT FACTS !!! If you are frustrated it's for one of two reasons: 1. Your grace meter is running low and you need MORE. If this is the case, go before the THRONE of GRACE to find HELP in time of NEED! He's got PLENTY to give you if you just humbly ASK! 2. You're doing something you're really not called to do. You may be trying to function in a grace you are not anointed with. Seek the Lord humbly and honestly about it and be open for redirection by the Holy Spirit. There is a 'rest' for the people of God. Unrest is a sign you are operating in your own strength rather than the power of the Spirit. He has given EACH one of us grace for our calling whether it is to be a full time Mom, call center rep, doctor, lawyer, teacher, coac...
